U+270B "✋" Raised Hand is a pictographic representation of a human hand with the palm facing forward and fingers spread apart, commonly known as the "stop" or "high five" gesture. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of the Dingbats block, often used in digital communication to signify a request to halt, a greeting, or a celebratory slap of palms. The symbol is distinct from the "Raised Hand" emoji with skin tone modifiers, which extend its versatility across different platforms and contexts.
